Spermatogenic failure 53(SPGF53)

MedGen UID:
1787013
•Concept ID:
C5543253
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 53; SPGF53
 
Gene (location): ACTL9 (19p13.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030989
OMIM®: 619258

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-53 (SPGF53) is characterized by oocyte fertilization failure due to lack of oocyte activation, associated with ultrastructural abnormalities of the sperm head (Dai et al., 2021). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]

Clinical features
